The UK Cloud Awards have chosen to support The Sick Children's Trust this year. They will be holding a raffle at the event to raise as much money as possible to help raise funds for this extremely worthy cause.

The Sick Children’s Trust is working to a future where every family with a seriously ill child in hospital will be able to stay together, just minutes from their child’s bed during their treatment.

They believe keeping families together significantly improves the recovery of seriously ill children. They provide free, high-quality ‘Home from Home’ accommodation, as well as emotional and practical support, to families with sick children in hospital in the UK.

The Sick Children’s Trust was founded in 1982 by two paediatric specialists Dr Jon Pritchard and Professor James Malpas. Today they have ten ‘Homes from Home’ at major hospitals around the country where families can stay free of charge.

They support 4,000 families every year, and there is a growing demand for our ‘Homes from Home’ as children must increasingly travel long distances to get the specialist treatment they need.
